Cooking With Honey

I like cooking; actually cooking is one of my favorite hobbies at home. I cook when I like to taste some exotic food. I work in a restaurant for one year when I was in collage to earn some allowance for my self. At first, I was just a dish washer, but I work hard and learned how to cook, after a few months of working hard, I was assign as a reliever to our chef when he’s absent.
I just want to share with you some cooking tips that I learned when I was still cooking; I hope it will be helpful for you guys! Do you like sweet foods? This thing might help you. Instead of using sugar to make your food taste sweet, why not try to use “honey” it’s much better and healthy. I say this because I’ve tried it. Honey is sweeter than table sugar. Therefore, as a substitute for sugar, use only half to three quarters as much honey as you would sugar. Also, since honey is about 18 percent water, reduce the liquids in your recipe accordingly. If there are no liquids, add two table spoons of flour per cup of honey. For baked goods, also add one half teaspoon of baking soda per cup of honey and reduce the temperature of your oven by 25 degrees Fahrenheit.
